Interior is black so thats good! Doesn't look to bad besides the driver side door! Goodluck with the build, and keep us updated on it... Oh and on wheel choices, first rides steelies or something, cause those 17" rims are fugly! I'd go with some Track R's.. Their getting to common but I love them and white one's would look good on your car!
